    Remember the 1% rule; that 6-7% can include a very large number of that 1%, so lots of people that remain are just lurkers. Communities don’t die in a few days, it’s a continual process.

      I hadn’t heard of that rule before, that’s an interesting idea! It would be cool to find out if the generation of new posts and comments has declined at a greater rate than the number of views.
